Why only one!?
You've got room for a nice harem.

I have the flame angel in there already...thinking about adding a golden angel eventually.

Sounds good of course, but not the same dynamic as a real harem.
I have been sortof trying to do a real harem of fairy wrasse, but you have the tank for a real harem of some sort of dwarf angel.

Excellent thread Gimmito!
Finally finished the entire thing. You have a most beautiful reef. I look forward to more updates in the future.

Hey John....you have a lot of time on your hands! Congrats on the new Christmas gift and just responded to your 250 tank build thread. I've been busy helping my buddy dads' 250 so updates on my tank will be slow coming.

After reading a book Jake Adams recommended on RB named Practical Coral Farming by Miguel Tolosa, I decided to give vodka dosing a shot (no pun intended). I'm happy to report I'm getting 0 ppm Nitrates and 0.25 ppm or less Phosphates. I bought the Kirkland brand vodka (as you tell by the pic) for under 20 bucks. I still have plenty left after dosing 6ml a day in main display and 2 ml in the frag tank.

Jim, are you still vodka dosing? Is it something you recommend?

How's that coming along by the way?

Yes I am. I do recommend it to control nitrates...not so much for phosphates.

All the fish are in the main display. I have to finish the plumbing under the house (just been busy getting to the "Honey to do list" ). I'd like to get it all done by the weekend.

Thanks Jim.
